Incidentally, Applied Cryptography is often critiqued for making crypto seemingly easy and incredibly accessible, which led to some people implementing very nice fails. For practical purposes the later Cryptography Engineering book is probably a better choice.
- komali2 8y agoThat's an interesting point. However, I am not interested in implementing/engineering cryptography (ever), just having a decent idea of what's going on. Is this still a failure of the book I should watch out for?
